About Sarah

Sarah runs Brilliant Dogs full time as her day job. She has been teaching dog training and agility part-time for over a decade. As a dog trainer, Sarah is analytical and focuses on what motivates
each individual (human and dog). She believes there is not a one-size-fits-all approach to dog training and each team needs to be unlocked to reach their full potential.

Sarah has reached top level agility with many different types of dogs. Her first agility dog, Trinity, an Aussie, was very soft, hard to motivate and maintain focus. Many trainers shrugged and
recommended a new dog, but Sarah stuck with Trin and achieved success on a national level making finals in both national events she entered, as well as a MACH and ADCH. Each of Sarah’s dogs has
been a national finalist in agility. Sarah’s BC Kate achieved 3 national final wins in agility and 4 national final wins in disc as well. Kate was not an easy BC to handle in agility due to her
extreme speed and forward nature, but using techniques specific to Kate, Sarah was able to achieve great success.

Some trainers who have inspired and shaped Sarah throughout the years: Wendy Pape, Mary Ellen Barry, Linda Mecklenburg and Janita Leinonen. She is familiar with Awesome Paws handling as well
as One Mind Dogs and prefers to use techniques that the dogs understand naturally and that take little to no training. With her own dogs, she likes to have very strong obstacle commitment
allowing her to get to where she needs to cue her dogs 2 obstacles in advance.She has worked with a variety of breeds, intimately trained/handled Aussies, BC, JRT, Whippet, Labrador and Poodle.
